What can we do now?

Good morning February Post-ops. I just wanted to say have a great day and even if you feel as if you are "not losing fast enough" as I did a couple of times. Just imagine how we were before surgery. I couldn't even go upstairs without wanting to pass out. I thought my heart was going to pop right out of my chest. Now I can go up and feel "normal". I don't drive around the parking lot looking for a spot closer to the store because I want to hurry up and finish my shopping. I actually park at the far end now and enjoy my walk to the store. I can actually get up from a chair without struggle. I am enjoying my life now and opening up with more activities. I can't wait to go to an amusement park this summer and sit in the front of the roller coaster and not in the middle in the "larger chairs". Keep these things in mind. Others take them for granted. Keep up the good work.

They have "larger chairs" in the middle on the roller coaster????? Darn, and I've been missing them all these years! I think it will be a while before I do the amusement park thing, probably next year, but its something to look forward to. But I agree, things are changing faster and that's a good thing. I can now walk farther than I could before and I don't hurt with every single step. I am also working on a treadmill and I was surprised at how long I can walk on it. Each time I can go farther and faster for a long amount of time. Life is getting to be good again!

I agree, focus needs to be on all the positives that are happening NOT just on weight loss. I feel so blessed to have had this surgery and the benefits of good health that has come along with it for me. Mary
